Just testing the water here people.
Me and the missus are in no way saying we want rid of her MK4, but wanted to see if anything interesting came up as a swap.
Mileage is a little on the high side @ around 155k, but it is very well looked after and has had a lot of loving from me!
Cheap to run, tax and insure!
Not sure what we are looking for so W.H.Y??
Spec:
2001 MK4 Astra Sxi 1.6 16v. (with sunroof and air con)
Exterior:
Gsi smoked headlights
GSi smoked taillights
Black crystal side repeaters
Lowered 40mm
irmscher back box
De-badged all round
Opel boot badge
Irmscher rep grill
Colour coded handles
Colour coded bumpstrips
Bee sting aerial
Flat blade front wipers
Rear wiper removed
Wolfrace alloys, fronts refurbed in BMW Cosmos black with irmscher sticker, rears need doing. (Kumho Ecsta SPT tyres all round with plenty left)
Interior:
Opel steering wheel badge
Black and grey leather gaitors
irmscher gearknob
Alloy tax disc holder
irmscher door pins
irmscher chrome heater rings
irmscher chrome speedo rings (white dials)
Speedo white led's
Steering wheel controls with white led's
Leccy window switches with white led's
Heater controls with blue led's
MK3 cig lighter surround with blue led
Full black leather interior (VVGC), fronts are heated but need the switches wiring in, matching door cards
Total closure
Vauxhall floor mats (drivers mat is a little worn)
I.C.E:
Pioneer Avic X1R headunit (integrated sat nav for 20 countries, dvd player, voltage gauge, G force meters, etc etc)
JBL door speakers with in built tweeters
JBL rear speakers with in built tweeters
Fusion front door speakers
Pioneer 12" sub
JBL amp (300w iirc)
Last year it had:
New front discs and pads
New rear shoes and drums
New track rod ends
New lower wishbones
New air filter
New fuel filter
New pollen filter
New spark plugs
Oil and filter
New centre section of exhaust
-40mm Spax springs
irmscher back box
Cambelt and water pump was done at 115k
Just before christmas i changed the aux belt tensioner and aux belt as well.
Bad bits:
Stone chips on the bonnet
Petrol flap needs replacing (i may do this soon)
Drivers door is starting to bubble along the bottom (currently keeping an eye out for a replacement door)
Passenger door has a parking ding along the edge (nothing too bad)
MFD has stopped working
Handbrake cable needs changing
Could do with new number plates
Air con needs re-gassing
Passenger seat needs cable replacing as it does not tilt forward (got a spare passenger seat to strip for parts)
These are all minor, but i am fussy...
Thats about it.....
I am planning to convert to 5 stud (got hubs, rear discs, 308mm fronts brakes, and braided lines on the way)
Fitting coilovers, fixing the 'bad bits' above, fitting BBS rep 18's which i have, pressed number plates, wind deflectors, and a few other bits.
Once i have done this, i doubt my missues would let it go, so seeing if there is anything interesting about before i go ahead and do it all......
My missus wont be taking any silly offers on this, it has had a lot of work, and always gets compliments.
In my eyes its 90% finished, and i will be really happy if we keep it and fit the 5 studs, BBS rims etc. But if you have something interesting, try us...
Anyway, pics are here..... (Also you can look at the diary in my sig).
